Hausdorff distance property

edit

Hi. About a month ago you added something to the Hausdorff distance page, claiming that "If  , then  ". Unless I'm confused, this just isn't true -- the corresponding inequality holds for one of the two things whose max is the Hausdorff distance, so to speak, but not for their maximum. (Suppose X=Z={1} and Y={1,2}. Then   and  . I haven't changed the page itself yet, just put a note on its talk page, because I wanted to check whether maybe there's some other true thing that you meant to write instead :-). Or maybe I am in fact confused and the claim is true after all.

I've removed it from the page now that I'm able to do so as myself. If I'm missing something, do let me know :-). Gareth McCaughan (talk) 02:31, 8 January 2024 (UTC)Reply
